Great work Genaro, luv the continuing of this kind of videos. Lots to learn from. I think you should not be upset about the ditch the tractor made. It's going to work just like a swale. It will help you catch tons of water and keep under the soil. I always work with swales on my land. 🤠🏅🌳🌲🌱
Amazing informative channel! Thank you so much. I'm slowing learning about syntropy agroforestry farming and hopefully will apply the principles I learn from your channel into my future farm. More blessings to you all.
Amazing job!! So to protect the coffee seedlings during the dry season you will have pigeon pea grown and you will add during this rainy season eucalyptus and cassava? Really curious to see how the system will do without irrigation. In many countries, like here in Thailand, irrigation is a big limit and if this succeeds it will change the cards on the table.
I just completed watching all the Academy training videos and was pondering how to start as there is quite some start-up effort required. The 2 hectare video set shows an incremental approach which I find interesting. Genaro are you familiar with the Johnson Su Bioreactor process (lots of youtube videos by inventor David Johnson)? The product is intended as an alternative to manure to kick start the soil microbes with one batch capable of covering 350 acres when applied at 2lb/acre so may have been useful on this project...
Thanks for sharing. That’s nice. I confused a little in my case, I have 0.6 hectares of 4 years old coffee trees (monoculture) of former landowner, now I want put some more macadamia, mahogany, eucalyptuses. Could I do the same way? Or what I need to do now because almost coffee trees about more than 2 meters. Thank you so much. From Vietnam with respect.
Loving your videos! This one raises the question of timing. How you know when to plant each species so that they don't over compete but also so they are at the right time to support? Also without irrigation, how you get to germinate or establish seedlings other than counting on the weather forecast?
Great work man, way to get through all the challenges! I would like to know if you planted the tomatoes by seeds, it might be pretty dificult to plant so many tomato by seedlings. Thanks!
Hey yall. Love the info and thanks for doing such a good job on sharing quality free agroforestry education! Really good resources. I am wondering about the placement of the Brachiaria grass. In the second cutting why do you prefer to put in on the tractor scar? Wouldn’t it be better on the bed closer to the coffee and papaya consortiums to help during the drought? Or are you not worried about the drought because of the support species helping out? Yeah, thanks alot!
Hey, great question.. ideally it would produce enough organic matter to cover both, but it might not! So yes we are counting on the service crops to aid the seedling and start working on decompacting the corridors with the grass. If the service species need a top up we will use some brachiaria as the seedlings are a priority, sure! Do check this short video out! th-cam.com/video/JNES9RZ0JhA/w-d-xo.html It was one of our first videos!

Great works! I’m learning about syntropy and your videos are very helpf and informative. Hope to see more videos like that. Thank you very much

Wow, just two guys. They did an awesome job. And good message at the end, thank you

Hola.
how do you know what seed combination and how many plants you need to put together ???
It's great to see the progress on this system. Thanks for taking time to share an update on it.
Amazing video, very useful for us, Vietnamese farmer especially coffee farmer. How can I donate Agroforestry Academy?
Do you use the corn stalks as mulch as well?
Aloha Genaro, How would you adapt this spacing for humid tropics? (ca. 4000mm)

Big thumb up guys , amazing effort

What is that coffee? Is it the cocoa tree which produces coco bean? or is it a short term crop?
hey Marshall, no just normal coffee.. drinkable black ☕
Nice hermao

Looks great! Do you use liquid fertilizer for the guilds? They are so green!
Hey Aina, we just fertilized locally on each seedling bed with chicken manure, chalk and some fancy rock dust!!
@@AgroforestryAcademy Great work! Where are you located?
veri god, Genaro!!
thanks my friend!
